Posted on February 12, 2020February 12, 2020by sarah

hazel has been requesting a playdate with her best pal from co-op (lochlyn) for forever. the plague of winter break prevented her mom and i from pulling it together, but finally we were able to squeeze in a day at the greensboro science center together. the skies looked ominous, so we opted to do as […]

Posted on August 11, 2019August 12, 2019by sarah

for our final stop on our loop around florida, we met up with the grandlidboms in saint augustine. the wait between the last time we saw them and this time wasn’t as long as some of the visits out west, but the kids were just as excited, nonetheless. our first stop was dinner at a […]

florida keys aquarium encounters.

Posted on March 5, 2019March 5, 2019by sarah

when we were in the florida keys, there was no shortage of options for aquariums, and it was hard to sift through all of the reviews and choose a good one. but, when we were at dry tortugas, one of the staff members at the bookstore gave us a coupon and recommended a place near […]

hogle zoo and the last day with new gramma.

Posted on November 26, 2018by sarah

due to a slight miscommunication while planning, my mom’s flight out of salt lake city was a day later than we were scheduled to be at our campground. so, while derek drove the camper to the next location, we (kids, me, mom) headed to slc for a last day of adventure, before hanging in a […]

non-redwood themed activities and adventures.

Posted on August 3, 2018August 12, 2019by sarah

from lassen volcano, we traveled back across california, all the way to the coast, amidst the cluster of redwood national and state parks. after our considerably frustrating internet situation the previous week, when we found a campground with decent cell signal, we plopped down the cash for a solid two week stay. we did a […]

avila beach. cold beaches and aquariums.

Posted on May 24, 2018May 24, 2018by sarah

for two weeks, we were sort of near the beach, but sort of over the beach. and the weather was cold and windy and not very tiny-beach-goer friendly. but, on our last day on the coast, i felt like we at least had to make a go of it. the girls were game. isaac was […]
